Abstract:
A delivery container equipped with a lock device, temperature regulating device, sensors and a processor is configured to receive and further store goods without the presence of an owner. The owner is notified by a user device when a delivery is made. The door of the delivery container is opened when a valid passcode is entered. The temperature regulating device heats or cools the interior space of the container, whereby the temperature of the interior space may be automatically determined or manually adjusted. A user via a user device can also communicate with the delivery container to send delivery instructions. The processor of the container is configured to calculate cooling and heating rates and controls the overall operations of the delivery container.
